Nearing warm, dry, snuggly jacket time!

[truffles]

Now it's getting chillier and nippyier lol...I was wondering what winter coats you have for yourself this time, or what ones your getting.
I have one which is showjumper style shower proof one, which, as much as I love him, does make me like like quasimodo.
Anyway...Am sort of looking for a more versatile one...I love the look of these, although not sure if they're completely shower-proof, let alone torrential rain proof:
Musto Calgary Jacket
Berwick Jacket
Legend Jacket
Any of you like these, or have heard any good or bad things about them?

If they're not, then if you know of a good, lightweightish jacket which is completely water proof, then I'd love to know!

Or, if you have a different tpye of jacket that you'd like to reccomend on here...post it here!

Happy jacket-searching and spending...

Get either the Musto combination or the musto blouson snug

Both worth their money in gold IMHO.

Haven't had my blouson for the winter yet so can't comment but it's been fantastic in heavy rain etc.

Combination jacket put up with 9hrs in cold, wet, muddy conditions when I was working in the depths of winter at RS. It's wind proof, waterproof, mud proof, horse proof etc. Only thing I found was that because I get cold easily I had to wear more layers underneath but it's fab

 

[truffles]

Oohhh fab thank you! I will think about it...it's so expensive!

I have a nice big snuggly puffa jacket.

Michelan man it may be (protection against horse teeth), but its snuggly warmth is worth it!

 

[truffles]

ahh yes I like those ones! But is it waterproof? I'm putting it to the test hehe

I got mine at the Musto Outlet shop ~goes off whistling~ Saying that though - combination jacket may be huge on you - it drowns me and I've got a small (I'm 5ft11)

And the blouson was a treat - saved up for it and kept telling myself I needed it

But would recommend Musto all the way

 

[truffles]

oooh thankyou!

x Maybe have to browse ebay first.

I have a Just Togs Cruz, which I love. It's very warm, and really keeps the water out. I love it!!

ETA: This is the one I have:

[truffles]

Oohh it's very cheap!!!

 

[meandmyself]

Lol!

That was why I bought it....

 

[pixie]

Yeah, I didn't get wet at all when I wore it for yard duties during winter. Plus its got a hood, so you can tighten it and just have your eyes and mouth out

 

[truffles]

Oh Pixie you've got me swaying now lol!!! mmmm...just think of the snuggliness! How expensive was yours?

[pixie]

[tashyisaudrey]

I'm looking for some snuggly clothes to wear on the yard

Have just finished buying all the snuggly things for my girl (Caff)

 

[truffles]

ahh now it's time to treat yourself.

I have a Horseware Ireland Rambo 'Ride & Ski' one! (Don't know if they even make these anymore though!)
I am a very 'hot' person & this is the most comfortable jacket I have ever had, I love it!

Seriously warm but doesn't overheat you! (When the Rambo jacket goes on, the h/w rugs go on! lol)

 

[truffles]

I'll investigate...Thanks JAK!
